Queer. Japanese Shoes.

y In japan children's shoes are made of
blocks of wood secured with cord. The
stocking resembles a mitten, having a
separate place for the great toe. AS
these shoes are lifted only by the toes
the heels make a rafting sound as their
owners walk, which is quite stunning in
a crowd. They are not worn in the
house, as they would injure the soft
straw mats on the floor. You leave
your shoes at the door. Every house is
built with reference to the number of
mats feauired for the floors each room
having from eight to sixteen, and in
taking lodgings you pay so muck for a
mat. They think it extravagant in us
to require a whole room to ourselves.
The Japanese shoe gives perfect free
dom to the foot. The beauty Of the
human foot is only seen in the Japan
csc. They have no corns, no iDgrow-
ing nails, no distorted :joints.-Mer-

A Very smart Lawyer Who Got a Dose Of
His Own Medicine.
A sensational breach of promise case
was on trial not long ago in East Ten
nessee. One Reuben Barnes was
placed on the stand. and when the at
torney asked him question which he
did not understand he asked for an
explanation before answering. "Mr.
Barnes replied the attorney. who was
getting very angry, ''that is techni-
cal point in law that you need know
nothing about. You will please tell
this court and jury what you saw with
your own eyes on the last Sunday even
ing in May as you passed through the
orchard toward the calf lott "Wall.
l saw Dick and Sarah sitting under an
apple tree" What were they doingp"
"They 'peared to be sittin' 'longside
each other on an old sassafras stump"
"Was there any thing in their actions
to Indicate that they were engaged in
more than friendly conversational"
"Wall, yes" slowly calculated Barnes,

"Now, SIR" exclaimed the lawyer,
jumping to his feet, will you please tell

That, sir" replied the witness, imi-
tating as far as possible the pompous
tone of his interlocutor, lis er ticker
nickle pint in courtin' that you needn't
know nothin' about!'' 1t was too much
even for the sedate old Judge, and the
scattering locks bobbed up and down
on his bald pate as he screened his face
behind law book and laughed until
he cried. As for the crowd-well, as
soon as the judge could regain his self
control court adjourned for dinner

lNFLuENcEoE. FLOWERS.
The Cheapest and at The Same Time Most
Elevating of Pleasures.

The Cheapest and at .he Same Time Most
Elevating of Pleasures.
Since the earliest ages of the world
flowers have borne an important part.
They were dedicated to the gods.
Venus is represented wearing a garland
of roses; Juno holds a lily in her hand,
and Ceres is adorned with bearded
wheat and corn peoples. In the days
of Roman and Athenian luxury and re-
finement, flowers held an essential
place in festivities and religious exer-
cises; they were heaped upon affairs,
bound to the heads of beasts which
were sacrificed to appease the wrath of
the gods, and wreaths were worn not
only by women, but also by men,
whose heads we're crowned with flow
ers upon all festive occasions. As
many people made business Of raising
and arranging flowers in those ancient
times as at the present day, and every
occasion had its particular adornment.
All over the world flowers are
planted, watered, weeded and cher
ished, and from their influences the
hearts Of thousands upon thousands are
nourished and uplifted to sense Of
higher power. We can not enjoy our
lives fully without flowers, and they
are the cheapest of pleasures. A Eve
cent packet Of pansy seed will give you
at least twenty different varieties of
purple and gold and lilac, and blue
and cream color and white flowers,
whose lovely faces will look up into
your eyes with beauty all their own.
Five cents will purchase a packet of
mignonette. of whose odor one can
never tire. Women, therefore, can
not plead poverty to excuse the flower
less condition of their surroundings,
because even three or four can club to-
gether paying only ten cents each, and
procure eight or ten varieties of seeds,
which will give each person an abtnld-
ance of plants. Cultivate but few
varieties as beginning. You will re-
ceive tenfold return for your labor.

row and trundle it around to catch the

Go into the woods in the early spring
and carry basket and trowel, and dig
up some moss and fern roots with par
fridge berries intermingled; add to
them some roots of the wind anemone
and wood sorrel, wild violet and saxi-
frage. and plant them in a deep dish
from your pantry if nothing better h
obtainable, and keep them weu watered
in sunny window where you can
watch their growth and see the tender
ferns unroll and the tiny flowers open;
they will teach you a lesson Of faith and
love which you can never forget. =
